rev-list: make it obvious that we do not support notes
The rev-list command does not have the internal infrastructure to display notes. Running: git rev-list --notes HEAD will silently ignore the "--notes" option. Running: git rev-list --notes --grep=. HEAD will crash on an assert. Running: git rev-list --format=%N HEAD will place a literal "%N" in the output (it does not even expand to an empty string). Let's have rev-list tell the user that it cannot fill the user's request, rather than silently producing wrong data. Likewise, let's remove mention of the notes options from the rev-list documentation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
